EDITORS COMMENTS
Jog on, jog on, the foot-pathway calls with a merry beat (Merrily, hent the style-a!), as a cheerful runner enthusiastically strides forward in this charming turn-of-the-century greeting card illustration. The quote inscribed on the card, "A merry heart goes all the day, your sad tires in a mile-a!" (Shakespeare, A Winter's Tale), adds a delightful touch of inspiration and encouragement to the scene. Artist Ethel Larcombe masterfully captures the joy and vitality of the moment, using soft, muted colors and delicate brushstrokes to create a sense of tranquility and serenity. The runner's bright red outfit and the vibrant autumn foliage surrounding the footpathway stand out against the gentle, pastel background, drawing the viewer's eye to the heart of the image. This beautiful greeting card, created circa 1910, is a testament to the enduring power of a positive attitude and the simple pleasure of a brisk jog along a scenic pathway. Whether sent as a thoughtful gift or kept as a personal memento, this timeless piece of art is sure to bring a smile to the face of the recipient and inspire them to embrace the day with a merry heart. Ethel Larcombe was a prolific and talented artist, known for her illustrations of children's books, greeting cards, and calendars. Her work, characterized by its whimsical charm and attention to detail, continues to captivate audiences today. This particular illustration is a wonderful example of her ability to capture the essence of a moment and convey a sense of joy and inspiration through her art.
